Preparing Servants for a Changing World PDF Print E-mail

Recently I met with several members of the newly formed Logsdon Seminary Alumni Council and was struck by the various ways our alumni serve in ministry. Pastors, church staff members, BGCT officials, chaplains, and missional leaders were all represented in the council. We engaged in lively discussion about ways to ensure that Logsdon continues to prepare men and women for a lifetime of effective ministry – no small challenge in today’s rapidly changing world. The key to continually providing effective ministry preparation lies in remaining connected to churches.

As we learn from our alumni we can also learn from our students, the majority of whom serve in ministry, and our faculty, who also serve churches in a variety of roles such as interim pastors, and conference and mission leaders. To maintain effectiveness, we must realize that seminary education cannot remain static and expect to train the next generation of leaders. As we establish vital relationships with churches, we re able to adapt the educational experience to the needs of ministry in the 21st century. We appreciate your continued connection to us as we seek to prepare the leaders of tomorrow.
